U sure that this is your narrative? I mean with the obas & all. I was taught this in elementary school while also being forbidden to speak Yoruba on school premises. The educational system @the time that I attended school was strictly British based. It's disgusting though how we (black folks) continually do ourselves in, all for that "money", from entertainment to politics to commerce, etc. Just a really really bad spell that we're under. In the prophetic words of Honorable Olufela Anikulapo-Kuti "one day go be one day".

Great video, My step was Yoruba and came to the UK in the '50s. He told how his country was forced to be pushed together and how to get an education he had to pretend to be Christian. He went back in the '80s and we as a family were to follow but it was difficult for him to adapt when he saw what the country had become. So he came home. I later worked in Lagos, I took the job firstly to see where my stepdad came from and I will be honest for the money, when I got there and saw the poverty, left my job and came home. I miss my stepdad, he taught me lots and was a good man. RIP Mr Adewale

Majority was worked to death for a hunger wage, and than you aren't even that unlucky, imagine being shanghaied and forced to work on those ships, or pressed to work in one of those forts in Africa, average life expectancy of this men wasn't very high and the pay was shit, and the actual labor conditions physically damaging. Those current leaders of Nigeria might be corrupt self serving egotistical a**holes just like those that profited from slavery and colonization back in the day, but it isn't race that is the factor, it is that some humans just don't give a flying sh^^ about others and given the opportunity will exploit their fellow humans for own profits even if they hurt millions of others trough this actions.

It's 3:50 here in Abeokuta , finding it hard to sleep because of the overwhelming stress just to earn money and still have time to study in this money making machine country, I stumbled upon your channel.... I rarely comment on KZbin but I have to say, you're doing a great job. This is an eye opener. I'm one of the new crop of Nigerians who believe in the dream of one Nigeria, but for how long can we hope? Good job guys.. my small contribution to the growth of this channel will be sharing it to my friends in school today.. Kyrie eleison

really grateful for the support bro! one love ❤️🔥🇳🇬🙏🏿

As a Nigerian, but born and raised in the UK... my family back home tell me that Nigeria is the only black country that own most of their economy on par with Ghana & Angola, but due to Nigeria's big population, Nigeria would be number 1... However, their problem is that the greed of Nigerians allow foreigners to manipulate the Nigerian elites to exploit the poor while the foreigners get a cut. Even though Nigerians are in senior roles of foreign companies compared to other African countries... greed still allows the leaders to exploit the poor.

Thank you for the like @NewAfrica

Nigeria and Ghana doesn't control their economy, Nigeria is Africa largest oil producer and doesn't have a single refinery, Ghana and Nigeria is 2nd and 3rd world largest Cocoa produce and they don't earn up to 3% of the profits, in Nigeria there's lots of colonial companies there still being run by the colonial families, there's a lot to say my brother

[@charles4163]

Will the next generation create better leaders? The answer is No. The average Nigerian is self-centered and cares more about his pocket irrespective of who suffers on his path to wealth. Until we begin to consider how our actions affect the next person, nothing will change in Nigeria. Leaders don't fall from the sky, they come from the same society as the followers. From civil servants to LGA Chairmen to Governors to Legislators to Presidents, no selfless outstanding leaders since 1960. We just manage the lesser evils in every election.

[@olamidearibisala]

@Neon Dawn Your postive remarks are refreshing and delightful to read. However they do not rule out the statements of truth in the comment of charles.

[@ericbenson1610]

@Neon Dawn I am sorry to point this out , but the Eko ( African Dubai) you mentioned is built with the resources from another part of the country. I don't have to remind you that most Nigerians from these parts of the country, the South West, often displays a lukewarm attitude to any idea that seems to support the right to secede, since Nigeria is an imposed enterprise. Once again, Charles is right, about the self-centered mind-set of the average Nigerian.

[@ericbenson1610]

@Neon Dawn Aha ha , thank God , you are the only one who says so. I can live with that. As a Deltan and a proud non-Ibo Biafran , my hopes and aspirations are tied to the restoration of Biafra. The rot in Nigeria you are oblivious to, so long as your EKO is built, can't say I blame you, and once again, the treacherous genes in the Akitoye bloodline is all still prevalent today as reflected in your rosy comment about Nigeria. And once again Charles is vindicated.

[@ericbenson1610]

@Neon Dawn Yeah, at least they are standing up , not betraying as the Akitoyes two- faced descendants are known for. Without our Oil your Oduduwa EKO will evaporate, and you know it.

[@ericbenson1610]

@Neon Dawn If that is the case, what is then the problem ? They should be allowed to GO, to leave the forced union. Plain and simple. What is wrong with the Blackmans brain? Is it simply too small and undeveloped to understand the simple concept or the desire for freedom? Listen, ' Mr I know too much, you know NOTHING, your types makes me sick. Sudan fought a 30 year civil war to gain fredoom, it could have gained without having to go to a war that cost so much in men and material, but the SWEET part of it , the war was won and those who died to gain freeedom didn't died in vain. But those who faught to unite it all died in vain. They could have avoided the sensless war, but I guess most of them were like you, STUPID. Don't take it personal. Thousand died to preserve the legacy of Britain by wanting to keep the country united by all means. Tomorrow you shout, the Whiteman is racist, this and that, the blackman must have been created stupid. Who constitute the world that is tired of the cry for Biafra? You? How many Itsekiri persons have you seen pushing drug? My local goverment is the single most Oil producing LG in the country, and you don't have to be a Yoruba to stupid, mind you. Persons like you are too small brained to understand what IPOB stands for. Besides half of Lagos is owned by IBOS, my God where is your brain?

[@Melanin_Move]

I'm Jamaican and we were always told that our forefathers were kings. Surprisingly, there are all different kinds of African named areas & groups in Jamaica such as Abeokunta, Nago, Ocho Rios (Ochi), Taina/Tain/Tayaina, Punta in East, Accompong, Auchin down (Auchi), Arawa-k, Calabar HS, even Obia/Obeah, etc. Lol! Recently realized this a few years ago. But when you see the very old Jamaican map you'll see a kingdom called "Seuigha" (could be Seui--gha), Aguaja, Lago, and another km "Oriftan" (f was a s). This was pre-colonial. Thought lots of it was just Jamaican. Lol. Europeans spell things then a little different because of lack of letters.

[@thebridge5483]

Nago in Haiti is yoruba, I know Jamaican heavily favors the Akans of Ghana 🇬🇭 dope to see things add up

[@bofloa]

Abeokuta is also a Yoruba region where the Egba people originate they are sub group of Yoruba also the Nago are Yoruba as well but they are mainly people from Oyo region...the Aguda are also Yoruba family in fact that name still exist till today in Lagos Nigeria they are the first to establish real church in Nigeria and there are deeper history behind that name too

[@Melanin_Move]

@@bofloa It's amazing how things are adding up. And it's before slave trade!!!!! Ha!!!!! There are also many Hausa names. Even saw "Punta" in the Montego Bay area "Mon".

[@GracedVille]

@HeavenlyBeautifullyBlack Your comment brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for taking the trouble to type. Anago/Nago and Abeokuta are indications of strong yoruba presence. Auchi is an indication of slaves from Edo state in Nigeria(ancient Benin empire). Arawa also seems yoruba to say our people. Taina seems Mina i.e. Nupe. Obeah seems Igbo or Delta. Calabar is also in the south-south of Nigeria.Abeokuta was one of the last towns in yoruba land to fall to war but when it fell, it fell hard. Prior to that time they successfully insulated themselves from the western slavers and their agents. I have been reading up on our history. From my assessment more than half the population of yorubas were taken as slaves meaning majority of them. A good number of them returned via Sierra Leone and dropped their slave names but many still kept the names. Please do not watch youtube videos to gain knowledge of your history as there is a lot of untruths out there. This video is one of them. He makes no mention of calabar port when we know that the company he mentioned dealt through Calabar port not the Lagos port.

[@GracedVille]

@@Melanin_Move the hausas seem to have been taken to the Bahamas. I was intrigued when i visited there and noticed many of them looked very dark like hausas. I asked what the tribal name of the blacks were and was told it is Arewa which is a name associated with the hausas in modern day Nigeria.

[@Naapeajaea]

Hey mate, I've been absolutely loving your channel. After returning to Australia from our second Sth Africa trip earlier this year (right before it closed its borders before COVID) we have learnt bits of African history while there. Weather it was the different forts and museums in Cape town and or Robbin Island and it's museum. You begin to see how much of the colonialism across the continent was connected. I find much of this info very interesting, because as westerners we have always been sold a view point by our own mainstream media. Unfortunately, can't pledge on Patreon but just want to say... keep up the informative videos. I keep telling all my friends here that Africa will one day soon have it's day in the sun.

Well done for this. I pray our people will wake up and see that Nigeria as a country was never created to succeed (it is not a curse but fact), we were never one, can't be one and be successful. We were great in our individual kingdoms before the advance of the colonial masters. We had our individual laws that worked for each kingdom. This Nigeria is British owned and forever will be. "What you name you own".

@DaReal Emm insightful, that which is lacking in many people.

[@jaycee9015]

@DaReal Emm There are dirt poor countries in Europe too. The richer African nations can give help to the poorer. Where there's a will there's a way.

[@jaycee9015]

@DaReal Emm You can make your points without being impolite. We are not fighting afterall. Not all wealthy Africans are stingy with their wealth many are philanthropists but can only do so much in a broken system. Also the problem is not that Africa has no good leaders at all but that the cabal of corrupt leaders (who are western puppets, by the way) have seized power and have not given the right thinking people a chance! But everything in life is subject to change including the neo-colonialism and corruption in Africa. I mentioned the poverty stricken countries in Europe because of your argument that poorer countries will always war against the richer. Clearly this is not the case in Europe even though they have very poor countries there too. Finally, I am not wishing but being both practical and optimistic. Negativity will get you nowhere and self denigration will not help matters either. Thanks for the chat and hope you have a good day.

[@jaycee9015]

@DaReal Emm Okay, no worries. Yes most of the reigning African leaders have been corrupt as you said. However, there are many more right thinking and good hearted ones who you may not see because the corrupt cabal won't let them smell power. Also a few good ones who managed to break through have been murdered by the western imperialists and their puppets. These are the cold facts. The corrupt leaders are also often told what to do often with a gun held to their heads or sinister threats behind the scenes. The problem runs deeper than you may think. But again there is an expiration date for every evil. We the followers also need to play our part. God bless you.

Corruption is a hard hard habit to kick. When tempted people see the fortune that stands to be gained. The individuals are besides themselves with being morally and ethically upright to the country and people in it, and the immorality of greed and power. It’s been the downfall of many, but not quite like those in Nigeria.
